Abstract:

Chandler writes that he caught the ague fever in Acapulco, but is now "safe and sound although [he] had a very long passage over 26 days." A man named Mr. Payne has been quite sick since arriving in California. Chandler finds "trade in Washoe stock quite dull at present" and intends to go over the mountains to sell his house in Virginia City for 1000 dollars if he can. This letter contains notations in pencil on the first page at the top which reads: "2nd Arrival in California." This letter also contains pencil marks to highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
